Not sure why the red flag hasn't been lifted.

Not sure why the red flag hasn't been lifted.

All I can think is track clean up, he probably brought a load of gravel onto the racing line

From first viewing there didn't seem to be that much to me but might be wrong.

Leclerc about to put it in the wall on his first q3 run to see if it speeds him up

 

[Walter Ego]

Love Sainzy me

 

[Big Jeff]

I’ve got the sprint recorded but I know who wins.

I’m fairly sure Max will get pole and win tomorrow.

I had such high hopes for Ferrari this weekend too.

 

[jarrowdiamond]

Max will win the race by over 30 seconds, over 5 tenths faster in qualifying than everyone else except his team mate, ridiculous man.

 

[Brett]

That brief moment the race may be interesting, And then a red bull 1 2

 

[PTR]

Qualifying turned out just as expected then

 

[Big Jeff]

Good showing by the McLaren lads and Alonso.

But that Red Bull is in a different league.

Congratulations to Max on winning tomorrow’s race.

 

[Walter Ego]

Mx

 

[Brett]

I don't think I will watch another race this season, that red bull is so much faster then everyone else

Hoping the 2026 regulations do something to make the sport interesting

Aston Martin protesting the results as Sainz stopped on track and shouldnt have been allowed to continue according to this.

Reading the rules to me it sounds like AM are correct. His car turned off and he was declared stopped on track by the stewards/timing people. While it’s daft not sure how the stewards can get round.

It's already been pointed out on here thst the commentators are having to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but I'm finding Nico R more enlightening than Martin Brundle often is.

Suspect that even if he did turn the car off, it was some process required to get him going again. Commentry team said he was stuck in 5th gear and needed to get to neutral.

Plenty of occasions where cars stand still for a few moments before getting going again. Often takes a minute or so to get into reverse etc.

Nico is such a egotistical prick. Doesn't mean he doesn't know his stuff, but he's just so full of himself.

Nico is such an egotistical prick.

He’s certainly peculiar, I’ll give you that. Anti-Vax too, not that he made a great deal about it.

Why doesn't that surprise me at all.


Anyway, getting back to the sport - "STOP on track" always meant that the car had to be recovered - its been in the rules for ever, and long before cars could fire themselves up after stalling.

 

[The Situation]

Rosberg is the best pundit around by a mile IMO.

Says it as it is, and always asks the tough questions of the teams and drivers that other pundits are afraid to.
